Towel Across the Chest

Drape a towel across the chest and both forearms and keep it in place for the first eighteen inches of the takeaway.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 3 sets of 8
Equipment: towel
Level: Intermediate

How to do it

Lay a hand towel across your chest, tucking one end under each forearm.
Take your regular address position holding a club.
Turn your chest to start the takeaway, keeping the towel trapped for the first eighteen inches.
Let the towel drop naturally as the wrists begin to hinge further into the backswing.

Goal

Train the chest, arms and club to move away from the ball as one piece before the wrists hinge.

Feel cue

Feel the towel pressing on both forearms as your chest turns them away together.

Mistake to avoid

Squeezing the arms together so hard that the turn cannot happen at all.
